The first thing you want to do when you find a bug is count the number of legs, especially if you’re concerned about bed bugs!

Q) So how many legs does a bed bug have?

A) They have six legs.

Casey, a visitor who shared the following picture and story, wanted to know if this was a bed bug or something else.

Thinking it was a Nymph, she called the Orkin Guy who upon viewing it, could not determine if it was a bed bug. Kind of shocking coming from a pest control professional who is supposed to know their bugs…

Clearly, the picture below shows that the bug has eight legs, not six.
